• The top fits well, and ergonomic cut ensures wide range of movement and a feeling that you aren’t even wearing a jacket.
• IR's color selection is also cool. Besides the typical dry top colors they have Urban camo.
• Great option for people with latex sensitivities or just looking for some more comfortable than latex.
• Lightweight material is tough enough for what you throw at it and heavy enough for the coldest weather.
• Available in both Mens’s and Womens’s
• IR was the 1st company to make a vulcanized neck.
